One of the longest-running independent music magazines online, KLOF has been championing intelligent, uncompromising voices in contemporary and experimental music since 2004 — through reviews, interviews, guest articles, news, playlists and mixtapes.
We amplify individuals and collectives that sit outside the mainstream: folk, experimental, ambient, avant-garde, jazz, field recordings and electro-acoustic. We cover marginal music with the same depth and reverence that the mainstream reserves for its tired canon.
